Hi everyone, we're considering going camping next weekend in the West Country. Haven't done this for many years, can anyone tell me if we'll be able to just 'turn up' or do you need to book these days? Just three adults and two kids for a long weekend?

I'd recommend Mother Ivy's Bay campsite near Padstow in North Cornwall. I stayed there in June 1997 and it was lovely. The campsite is on a cliff that overlooks a private beach. The beach can only be used by campers. The campsite has all amenities that you'd want (hot water, showers, shop, electrical hookups etc). If you get good weather it'll be perfect for you.
